The Eagles have named their captains ahead of this season’s Super Bowl defense.
Philadelphia has named the following players as captains for the 2025 season:
— Jalen Hurts, quarterback
— Saquon Barkley, running back
— Lane Johnson, offensive tackle
— Jordan Mailata, offensive tackle
— A.J. Brown, wide receiver
— Zack Baun, linebacker
— Reed Blankenship, safety
— Jake Elliott, placekicker
Barkley, Baun and Blankenship are first-time captains after stellar 2024 seasons.
Barkley rushed for 2,000-plus yards and won NFL Offensive Player of the Year after joining as a free agent from the New York Giants. Baun came out of nowhere to earn first-team All-Pro status. And Blankenship proved to be a stable playmaker in the secondary.
Hurts, Brown, Johnson, Mailata and Elliott are holdover
